Restoration may be available if IRCC receives the application within 90 days after status was lost. You may remain in Canada while it is processed, but normally may not work or study until status is restored and a new permit is issued.
I plan the extension before the current permit runs out, and confirm what status and what activities you can keep while it is pending, under the conditions on your existing permit.
I read the refusal reasons against the original application and the rules in force, and set out the next steps that could be considered. How to proceed turns on the facts and on how much time is left.

For those outside regular immigration pathways. Requires a thorough narrative of establishment, best interests of children, and hardship.
IRCC can be asked to reconsider a decision it has already made. Some cases call for new material, others for pointing out a specific error in the decision. Which of the two applies depends on what is in the record.
Once the PR residency obligation is met, I prepare the citizenship application: physical presence calculation, prohibition checks, and form completion.
Where authorized under a retainer, I assist with IRCC portal communications, procedural fairness letters and interview notices.
Application outcomes depend on the applicable requirements, evidence and individual facts.
"Careful preparation and a sound strategy matter."
A first study permit and a complex case after a refusal get the same preparation work.
